1 Quality over quantity

One of the most important factors to consider when buying hand tools is quality. You don't want to waste your time and money on cheap tools that break easily, damage your work, or cause injuries. Look for tools that are made of durable materials, have ergonomic designs, and meet industry standards. You can also check online reviews, ratings, and recommendations from other automotive engineers to find out which brands and models offer the best performance and value.

Like the saying goes "Use the right tool for the right job". The significance the tools used, play a very important role, especially in assembling and maintenance scenerios . It not only affects the durability as bad tools affects the surface of the component(s) being worked on, but it also affects the lifetime and reliability of the system. The reliability aspect could probably be not so visible as most times it takes longer for the aftermath effect. For example, using the right tool to apply the required torque is of great importance.

I have a huge range of tools from very cheap to pricey depending on the work that you are doing. Cheap tools I just make my own of when I need one. I don't cut into expensive good tools. Always use good tools when you are unsafe. A good understanding of how to use tools correct is a must.

2 Function over form

Another factor to consider when buying hand tools is function. You want tools that can do the job well, not just look good. Think about the specific tasks and challenges that you face in your projects, and choose tools that match your needs and preferences. For example, if you work with tight spaces, you might want to get ratcheting wrenches, flexible screwdrivers, or telescoping magnets. If you work with different types of fasteners, you might want to get adjustable pliers, hex keys, or torque wrenches.

Something I found helpful when it comes to hand tools I have used in design and engineering is that with the right tool, anything can be accomplished. So it is critical to develop a working relationship with tool distributors. I receive amazing customer service from the local Matco, Snap-On, and Mac tools distributors. They can help me find virtually anything I need to accomplish my goal, and make excellent recommendations when I present them with a scenario.

3 Maintenance over neglect

Once you have the best hand tools for your projects, you need to take good care of them. Proper maintenance can extend the life of your tools, improve their performance, and prevent accidents. You should clean your tools regularly, lubricate moving parts, sharpen cutting edges, and store them in a dry and organized place. You should also inspect your tools before and after each use, and replace or repair any damaged or worn-out parts.

4 Safety over risk

Finally, you need to use your hand tools safely and responsibly. No matter how good your tools are, they can still cause harm if you misuse them or ignore safety precautions. You should always wear protective gear, such as gloves, goggles, and earplugs, when working with hand tools. You should also follow the instructions and warnings that come with your tools, and avoid using them for purposes they are not designed for. You should also keep your tools away from children, pets, and unauthorized people.

Firstly, prioritize tools from reputable manufacturers known for quality and precision. Consider the specific requirements of automotive work, opting for tools designed for durability and performance. Assess ergonomic features to enhance usability and reduce fatigue during extended use. Regularly inspect and maintain tools to ensure ongoing reliability. Investing in industry-standard tools, such as those meeting ISO or ANSI specifications, ensures compliance with quality benchmarks. Additionally, seek recommendations from seasoned professionals in the automotive engineering domain to align tool selection with industry standards and best practices.

5 Learning over stagnation

The last tip to help you have the best hand tools for your projects is to keep learning and improving your skills. Hand tools are constantly evolving and innovating, and you need to stay updated on the latest trends and developments in the field. You can read blogs, magazines, books, and journals that cover automotive engineering topics, and watch videos, podcasts, webinars, and courses that demonstrate how to use different hand tools effectively. You can also join online forums, groups, and communities where you can share your experiences, tips, and questions with other automotive engineers.

6 Feedback over isolation

The final tip to help you have the best hand tools for your projects is to seek and give feedback. Feedback can help you learn from your mistakes, improve your strengths, and discover new opportunities. You can ask for feedback from your colleagues, clients, mentors, or supervisors, and listen to their suggestions, criticisms, and praises. You can also give feedback to others, and share your insights, advice, and recommendations. Feedback can also help you build your network, reputation, and credibility in the automotive engineering field.
